Public Health Impacts

Public health impacts refer to the effects that health-related issues, policies, or environmental changes have on the well-being of whole communities or populations. These impacts can include the reduction or increase of disease, improvements in overall health, and changes in how safe or healthy people feel and live. For example, a new vaccination program can lower disease rates, while pollution can increase health problems. Understanding public health impacts helps us make informed decisions to improve living conditions, prevent illnesses, and ensure resources are used effectively for the benefit of everyone.
